Gender and school – related experience differences in students’ perception of teacher interpersonal behavior in the classroom

摘要

This study, based on the learning environment researches, is focused on the dynamic of students’ perceptions of teacher interpersonal behaviour in the classroom. Participants in this study were 525 Romanian students (11 - 19 years old, age mean = 14.34, SD = 2.24) from 23 classes (fifth to eleven). The data were colleted by the first Romanian translation of the Questionnaire on Teacher Interactions (Frazer, 1998). The research found significant differences in perceptions of the teachers, according to the students’ gender, class membership, and transition pathway. The results are useful for intervention programs aiming to improve the quality of learning environment.
